So Long, Sheiky

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Shawn Sheikhan's 2011 Main Event has come to its frustrating conclusion. We watched him stomp past our table and out the door, shaking his head and mumbling to himself. So we figured things had not gone well. The details followed.

It was a {2-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} flop that began the troubles for Sheiky, and he led out with a bet of 2,000 into a pot of about that much. His opponent made it 6,200, Sheikhan shoved for 21,300, and his opponent made the call with {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}. Sheikhan's {K-Spades} {K-Clubs} were well in front for the time being -- and after the {6-Spades} turn -- but the river came the {4-Diamonds} to flush him out of the field.
